An Indian rubber cord $L$ metre long and area of cross-section $A$ $m^2$ is suspended vertically. The density of rubber is $D$ $kg/m^3$ and Young's modulus of rubber is $E$ $N/m^2$. If the wire extends by $l$ metre under its own weight,then the extension $l$ is:

  • A
    $L^2Dg/E$
  • B
    $L^2Dg/2E$
  • C
    $L^2Dg/4E$
  • D
    $L$
